Re: 1968
I'm a long way from wiring my truck, but it will come in very handy when I'm ready. Get to feeling better.

Re: 1968
Today, I worked on the vent window frame. After I took it apart and cleaned it, I found the rust was a little worse than I thoght. So I cut the rusty part out and replaced it with good metal from another window frame. It turned out real nice. I also installed the mirrow suport bracket. The one that fits inside the door. But somehow I misplaced the other bracket for other door. So I will have to find a relacement.

Re: 1968
Sounds like you're getting ready to be very busy for a while with all that stuff coming in. You may not have any time to spend more money any time soon!

Re: 1968
picked up two more side jobs this week. Everyone want something done when the weather chanes or they are getting ready for the hoildays. Anyway I sent off for the cluster and the intake today. If I can't work on the truck at least I am able to buy some parts with the extra income from the jobs I am doing.

Re: 1968
I finshed one of my side jobs today. The PO of this home got it repo and he got mad and went in the attic and cut all the elect wires to the breaker box.He cut wires all over the house in the attic also. So I rewired the elect breaker box and replaced all the wires. So now only two more fires to put out. Then I am back working on my truck.

Re: 1968
Tomorrow, I will post pictures of the drive shaft. I am going to install the new u-joints and install it in the truck. I need to buy some Kubuta orange for the body of the truck. Tractor supply is my only ave. Then I can start doing some real damage (work)to the truck.

Re: 1968
That's good, George! Sorry I missed you when I came through. They changed my work schedule, and it was the middle of the night when I came through. Looks like I will be making trips down there more often, though, so we will hook up soon!

Re: 1968
Today I receved my Edelbrock performer intake. It looks sweet. Now I need the right gasket for the intake. Also got 3 u joints and carrier bearing. But I have a problem. I don't have the bracket that attaches to the cross member to install the carrier bearing. It was a one piece drive shaft from GM. But now it is two piece.
picture of intake picture of u joints and carrie bearing pictures of drive shaft rebuilt. I have to re-paint the driveshaft. stratched it up a little
